It is not true. I'm getting a dark, even roast on session mode at 395. Troy mentioned in his review that he's using on-demand most of the time, which pumps up the convection heat. I'd imagine that tends to scorch the top more--I don't know for sure, as I've used session mode almost exclusively. I also don't agree that the XL bowl doesn't fit in the oven. The glass screen slips well below the top of the device; it looks to me like the bowl is an exact fit for the oven. And I find that the XL bowl's extra hole reduces restriction, even with the extra material--you just have to avoid packing too tight. I just weighed a loose pack, and it's exactly .35.Is it true the XL stems don't extract as evenly as the regular stems because the contents protrude from the oven? That's mentioned as a negative in Troy's review. I would like to be able to use 0.35g, and I'm not sure how well that will work. I can cram it into my Mighty no problem, though splitting it into two bowls gives nicer results.
It can even fully extract a bit of bubble hash in the mix. I load it toward the top, with some weed between the hash and the oven to keep hash oil from staining the oven. I usually give it a minute or two of heat soak for the best results. I find that most devices have trouble extracting the hash without scorching the herb. The Solo III does it perfectly.
The on-demand feature is a neat trick, and I'm sure it has helped market the device. However, I think the Arizer design works so well because it's a hybrid, and session mode makes full use of the oven heat to amp up the convection.
I think Troy needs a little more time with session mode.
